DIRECTIONS:
This acrostic features a work by one of Pomonas great alumni writers.
After you print this page, fill in the words beside the clues, writing
a letter above each blank. Transfer each letter to the numbered square
of the diagram corresponding to the number below the letter. The letters
printed in the right corner of each diagram square indicate the appropriate
words below, providing a cross-reference. As you progress, words and phrases
taking shape in the diagram will enable you to work not only from word
to diagram but also from diagram to word. When completed, the diagram,
reading across, will provide a quotation from this published work. The
first letters of the words below, reading down, spell out the identity
of the book and its author. Click here for the solution.
